(08:16:42 PM) dkap: Now is it working?
(08:16:57 PM) dkap: Oh wait, I can see my characters from here.
(08:17:00 PM) dkap: Cool.
(08:17:03 PM) dkap: Hello folks.
(08:17:15 PM) Rayeth: *hugs Dkap*
(08:18:25 PM) Rayeth: Bannon will be joining us soon.
(08:19:51 PM) dkap: Excellent.
(08:23:38 PM) Rayeth: I will probably be leaving at about 10
(08:26:47 PM) dkap: Gotcha. Where did we leave you off?
(08:29:24 PM) Cagliostro: hello, dkap.
(08:30:11 PM) Rayeth: I was with that person who's name starts with an A, where evryone else had gone since they made me go with them! *solemnod*
(08:31:01 PM) dkap: Ariel.
(08:32:49 PM) Rayeth: Yeah
(08:33:00 PM) bannon [~bannon@c-98-229-86-80.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] entered the room.
(08:36:05 PM) dkap: And so Bannon is arrived.
(08:36:10 PM) ***bannon wavies
(08:36:12 PM) dkap: Welcome, o Furry one.
(08:37:37 PM) dkap: Well ... we have partial players for several different of the storylines, but none for all of one ...
(08:37:57 PM) dkap: How about ... hrm ... some Bannon/Rayeth backstory?
(08:38:45 PM) bannon: I'm game.. :)
(08:41:53 PM) Rayeth: I suppose, sure.
(08:44:21 PM) dkap: Excellent ... so ... how did the two of you meet?
(08:44:54 PM) Rayeth: Well, I was being amourous one night on Furscape muck...
(08:45:14 PM) dkap: Umm ... I meant _in_ character ...
(08:45:39 PM) Rayeth: Oh
(08:45:53 PM) Rayeth: I dunno, I forgot. She knows. *points at bannon*
(08:46:25 PM) bannon: Give me a second....
(08:46:33 PM) ***bannon is working on remembering....
(08:46:58 PM) bannon: It wasn'
(08:47:13 PM) Rayeth: Something about meeting in the woods or ruins, or something...it was a long time ago.
(08:47:19 PM) Nathan [~chatzilla@c-76-119-104-186.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] entered the room.
(08:47:43 PM) dkap: In a galaxy far far away. Yes, we get it.
(08:47:45 PM) dkap: *grin*
(08:47:53 PM) dkap: Nate! You are alive! Good good.
(08:48:06 PM) bannon: It wasn't on Furscape... So what happpened was Rayeth was mucking about doing his typical thing and Bannon felt an unusally strong surge in energy. So, being the curious creature that she is, she went after it and, when she got there, found Rayeth working his powers.
(08:48:27 PM) ***Nathan shambles about.
(08:48:48 PM) dkap: Right ... Nate! You are animate. Good good.
(08:49:30 PM) dkap: So ... she stumbled onto this power-pole ... what caused her to keep him?
(08:50:24 PM) Rayeth: Threads of destiny and potential. Plus it was going to really piss off the folks who had plans for Ray.
(08:50:50 PM) dkap: And who or what were those folks?
(08:51:20 PM) bannon: Pissing off authority sounds like fun.. Plus he wa ozing with energies and she has a certian.. affinity for raw energies.
(08:52:23 PM) dkap: Hunger? Vampire-like tendency? Likes to see things burn?
(08:52:54 PM) Rayeth: Well, one was the goddess that made Rayeth, cause he was supposed to be her champion.
(08:53:16 PM) dkap: Or Patsy, or tool, but ... yes.
(08:53:47 PM) dkap: (Interestingly enough, Rayeth also fits better under the Creatures and Artifacts rules, in many ways ...)
(08:53:59 PM) bannon: Definately the latter... but she also feeds off energy, the purer the better. She'll normally just pulls from Rayeth's excess, but could 'vampire' it from someone to really drain them if she wanted.
(08:54:19 PM) Rayeth: No, it was champion. There were 5 of em that did it. Each made one. Elmena had the paladin Yuri, Gorn had the gearmaster Brandeis...I forgot who Adham and Gyani had though...
(08:54:41 PM) Rayeth: Made others fight their battles since it was sort of an impartial thing...
(08:55:46 PM) bannon: It was a champion as far as Rayeth knows....
(08:56:11 PM) ***bannon deviously sits in the coner, comtemplating Rayeth's usages.
(08:56:12 PM) Rayeth: Well, I screwed the whole thing up anyway.
(08:59:06 PM) Rayeth: Bannon screwed it up too by becomming my familiar.
(08:59:34 PM) ***bannon whistles inniocently...
(09:00:03 PM) ***Rayeth puts dirty images in Bannon's head.
(09:00:37 PM) ***bannon whistles inniocently-er............
(09:01:13 PM) ***Rayeth thinks about some X rated stuff cause Bannon has no choice but to hear his every thought.
(09:01:58 PM) Rayeth: So anyway
(09:02:12 PM) ***bannon puts Rayeth on mute.
(09:04:36 PM) Rayeth: http://verydemotivational.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/129146242411271574.jpg
(09:05:29 PM) ***bannon snickers
(09:05:37 PM) Rayeth: I think they don't like us anymore...
(09:06:04 PM) bannon: It's OK, I like us.
(09:06:18 PM) Rayeth: k
(09:07:36 PM) Cagliostro: We decided a while back that every plan eventually devolves to "Get 'em!" So we just start there.
(09:07:49 PM) Cagliostro: Of course, that's for very small values of warfare...
(09:09:00 PM) dkap: Come on. Most of you have progressed to "Look ... Elvis!" then "Get 'em!"
(09:09:37 PM) Rayeth: Mine was better
(09:09:42 PM) Rayeth: "Look a distraction!"
(09:09:43 PM) Nathan: "Look... Elvis!"
(09:09:47 PM) bannon: Look! Calipso!
(09:10:05 PM) ***bannon attackers J-Random passing by squirrel.
(09:10:10 PM) Rayeth: Look! I'm sneaking up behind you with a two by four!
(09:10:23 PM) bannon: STICK!
(09:10:27 PM) dkap: Squirel!
(09:10:35 PM) Rayeth: Where?!
(09:10:46 PM) bannon: SQUIRREL!
(09:15:27 PM) dkap: Right then. So Bannon found Rayeth ... and then what?
(09:15:46 PM) dkap: Was there a titanic battle that Bannon proved her worth? Was there God-death?
(09:16:14 PM) dkap: Was there a quiet afternoon with those sweet, anniss-flavored pizelles?
(09:17:43 PM) Rayeth: She was able to teach him the more primal way of using magic since he didn't get practiced formulae.
(09:19:14 PM) dkap: Which made Rayeth a better champion? Caused Rayeth to turn on his creator? Helped Rayeth summon the anniss-flavored pizelles?
(09:19:50 PM) Rayeth: It allowed him to sort of be free...I guess...
(09:19:52 PM) Nathan: Turned Rayeth's fur grey?
(09:20:27 PM) Rayeth: It isn't gray. It's white with black tiger stripes
(09:21:18 PM) bannon: Would you like it to be grey? ;P
(09:22:22 PM) Rayeth: no
(09:23:22 PM) bannon: She is able to store vast amounts of energy. She can act as a drain if he needs to dump energy somewhere, but she also could give him some back, allowing Rayeth to gain control over larger amounts of energy which he would not be able to deal with by himself.
(09:23:36 PM) bannon: Is what I'm gonna go with, since he's not giving any response.. :p
(09:23:50 PM) Rayeth: Yeah...that works...
(09:26:29 PM) bannon: Doesn't mean she does give the power back.. but she can... ;)
(09:27:33 PM) Nathan: She's a rechargeable battery...
(09:27:56 PM) dkap: And the traditions of batteries are strong in my campaign.
(09:27:58 PM) bannon: That's one, limited, way to look at her, yes.. ;P
(09:28:25 PM) bannon: She also uses the energy too, though.
(09:29:41 PM) Nathan: She's a rod of absorption.
(09:30:46 PM) dkap: Better than a Rod of Sterling ...
(09:30:47 PM) ***bannon amusedly watches as Nathan tries to simplify her...
(09:31:48 PM) ***Rayeth tickles Bannon
(09:32:53 PM) ***bannon eeks! She giggles and squirms a bit.
(09:33:06 PM) dkap: Right ... but what _happened_. Was there, like, a cosmic alliance? A marriage of convenience? Something must tie them together, even inasmuch that Rayeth accepts the masterly set-down and raking across the coals from every time the memory-wipe/wander off happens.
(09:33:46 PM) Rayeth: We fell in love.
(09:34:51 PM) dkap: Light the galaxy's on fire love? Or that deep well-type love? Or the Hundred Hours type?
(09:35:11 PM) Rayeth: At first it was just convinient, then a deeper bond formed. Sort of happens when you let someone see EVERYTHING about you while you also see the same about them.
(09:35:15 PM) Nathan: At least, that's what she tells him each time they meet again for the first time...
(09:35:47 PM) Rayeth: First time is the best time.
(09:37:05 PM) dkap: Is that why you keep wiping yourself?
(09:38:58 PM) bannon: Another useful thing about the Rayeth/Bannon relationship is that each of them lives indefinately..
(09:39:33 PM) dkap: I'd rather live in Shadow/Reality, myself ...
(09:41:11 PM) Rayeth: No, I do that so that I can form real bonds with mortals, but I don't have the years and years of guilt that builds up when you realize that every person you meet will eventually grow old die, but you will go on for ever. It hurts less to forget.
(09:41:55 PM) Rayeth: Plus it helps to clear out all the cobwebs and start fresh.
(09:42:45 PM) ***bannon doesn't have to deal with that guilt, because it doesn't bother her... ;)
(09:43:10 PM) ***Rayeth does because deep down he is still human, and humans were not meant to live forever.
(09:43:28 PM) ***bannon isn't and never was.. >.>
(09:44:28 PM) dkap: Rayeth was created with it? That's bad design by the Goddess ...
(09:48:27 PM) Rayeth: Not really. I mean...he is a human. She never intended for him to be immortal either. It just happened.
(09:48:54 PM) dkap: How did it happen?
(09:51:32 PM) Rayeth: Accidentally. Rayeth had a small bit of creation left in him, like a seed, and under the right conditions it blossomed into his plainswalker spark, the source of his powers.
(09:52:09 PM) dkap: But that doesn't necessarily mean immortal. It just means non-shadow-lame ... *grin*
(09:53:31 PM) Rayeth: It stopped his aging entirely, removed his need to breathe, eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, it allowed him to alter his body at will to take any form. It also gave him the power to do basically whatever he wanted, whenever.
(09:53:45 PM) Rayeth: He could be killed, yes, but he won't die.
(09:55:17 PM) dkap: Ahh ... but not the Face of Beau time.
(09:55:37 PM) dkap: It removed the need, but do you breathe? Is the apparatus still there?
(09:55:48 PM) dkap: And do you eat? If you do eat, do you eliminate?
(09:56:42 PM) dkap: And ... in the structure of this game, while you have ranked endurance, you still need to rest sometimes. It might not be sleep, but ... one of the players had a tendency to find some nice rocks, and turn himself into a lichen across them for a while, to recharge.
(09:58:44 PM) Rayeth: It's face of boe, and I do eat when others do, as well I breathe when I remember, as many find it unsettling. I have been described as a living corpse by one who took time to examine me. At least while I was still in possession of my spark. And I needed to sleep, but only in that sleep helps to clear the mind, it was never needed for actual rest.
(09:59:15 PM) Rayeth: (And as much as i would like to continue, I need to get to bed, work on the morrow)
(10:01:48 PM) bannon: I thought it was the face of Beau as it ment the face of beauty.. :p
(10:02:01 PM) Rayeth: Oh, I was thinking Dr Who
(10:02:14 PM) bannon: I was too... :p
(10:02:27 PM) Rayeth: In the script it's spelled Boe
(10:02:42 PM) bannon: Intresting, didn't know.
(10:02:44 PM) dkap: Cool. I never knew the spelling.
(10:02:54 PM) Rayeth: anyway
(10:02:54 PM) bannon: I just found it wikipedia too. :p
(10:02:56 PM) Rayeth: night
(10:03:02 PM) bannon: Night night! ^^
(10:03:05 PM) Rayeth left the room (quit: Quit: ~ Trillian Astra - www.trillian.im ~).
(10:03:14 PM) dkap: Something in the physical realm needs my attention ... I'll be back.
(10:10:34 PM) bannon: ppft... using Trillian for IRC...
(11:19:46 PM) Cagliostro: Okay, I am calling a night.
(11:19:48 PM) Cagliostro: night!
(11:19:57 PM) Cagliostro left the room (quit: Quit: Leaving.).
(11:20:45 PM) Nathan: G'night!
(11:20:55 PM) Nathan left the room (quit: Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.87 [Firefox 4.0.1/20110413222027]).
